Mrs o. D. F., Fort Stephens, Miss: Reading
| n .1..-
| of his old serv ms, especially his wife's old
| "mammy, made me think how little the northern
people know about the way treated our servants
| when they really belonged to us, before the war
| and how many of them remained with us after the
war. Amongst ours was one who nursed all my
mothers children. The younger children called
| her Nam Lucy. We all thought as much of her as
| if she were white. After the war some of the
negroes tried to get her to leave but she said "No
I'm going to stay with old marster and mistress as
long as they live, and then I'm going to stay with
| my children" (meaning us-she had none of her
| own, and always called us her cbildren). And she
did stay until they both passed over the river and
| grieYed as much for them as any one believe
After that she lived with Of my sisters at the
| old homestead, until she too passed away Dear
| old SOUL How we all do miss her! We always felt
safe if we left our little in her charge. Some
| time before she died she wondered how she would
| be buried Sister told her she would have her put
| away verynicely and would have her buried in the
CeiHG%eiy Will our Wullc she DfOkG out in
| laugh and said, "Won't the negroes open their
\ eyes thought" 1t seemed TO please her very much
few hours before she died she said 81 shall soon
he with old master and Mistress" She always
seemed sure she would meet them III heaven and |
be lieve she did They buried her i'll the cemetery
not far from cold master and mistress" A large
| copcourse of people, both white and black, tol-
lowed her to her last resting place, and many tears
were shed for her by us all. There is another one
| In This neighborhood-old Aunt Dinah as she is
| hue 49,
MISTRESS and after she was dead she continued to
| stay With her stepchildren, and when old Aunt
D.naR dies they'll bury her the same way Oh the
nortY don't know anything about it. Our slaves
wer9 always called in TO family prayers, had every
| advantage Of going TO the house of God, and as a
general thing they were treated we'll Of course,
there were some exceptions.

beads, of natures growth, with holes 10 run string
through, and how amused | was to arrange a string
of nGtura beads, and them with childish pridel
would be real proud to obtain seed Of same if they

privilege Of going to the exposition have to content
